Team USA is hopeful of being close to full strength for Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off final against Team Canada. Head coach Mike Sullivan provided an update on the status of some key players on Wednesday.

Auston Matthews and Matthew Tkachuk, both of whom missed Monday's clash against Sweden, returned to practice on Wednesday and figure to be available for Thursday's game, Sullivan told reporters. Meanwhile, Brady Tkachuk, who exited Monday's game early with an injury, missed practice on Wednesday. Sullivan indicated Brady was feeling under the weather but added that he would "anticipate" the 25-year-old to be ready to play in the final.
